Go Ahead Episode 11 Recap
> Go Ahead Recap
He Ziqiu punched Ling Xiao and said he had also been preparing all kinds of documents these past few days. While Ling Xiao was going to see Chen Ting, He Ziqiu was planning to find Zhao Huaguang. He felt that both he and Ling Xiao were ungrateful ingrates. The two of them got into a fight on the rooftop. Li Jianjian, who had come to call them for dinner, saw them fighting and quickly pulled them apart.
After some questioning, she finally learned that both Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu were going abroad. Li Jianjian couldn’t accept it—she didn’t want her two brothers to leave the country. Li Haichao tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. All she wanted was for Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu to stay. She asked Ling Xiao why he had to go to Singapore to take care of Chen Ting.
Ling Xiao quietly said that Chen Ting was his mother after all. Li Jianjian couldn’t refute that fact and ran back to her room crying. Ling Xiao went into the room to try and comfort Li Jianjian, but she buried herself under the blanket and ignored him. He Ziqiu also came in to try to persuade her to eat, but Li Jianjian just kept crying without saying a word.
As Ling Xiao was about to leave, Li Jianjian suddenly asked him if they were never really a family in the first place—Ling Xiao was just a neighbor, and He Ziqiu was just a foster child living in their home. Ling Xiao denied it. In his heart, they were a family. He also said that once Li Jianjian grew up, they would be together forever. But Li Jianjian didn’t believe it.
She said that as long as they left, they would no longer be her brothers. In the middle of the night, when Li Haichao got up to use the bathroom, he found that He Ziqiu was still awake. He poured him a glass of milk, and the two started talking. He Ziqiu felt especially sorry toward Li Jianjian. Li Haichao tried to comfort him, saying that Li Jianjian just couldn’t accept it for the time being.
Children eventually have to leave their parents. But He Ziqiu was worried that if they weren’t around, Li Jianjian might be bullied. Li Haichao said helplessly that if she were bullied, she’d just have to fight back herself. The same applied to him and Ling Xiao—when they were wronged outside, they could only endure it themselves.
He added that as He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao grew up, they would eventually have families of their own, and the older they got, the more responsibilities they would bear. But He Ziqiu said he wouldn’t get married; staying by their side would be enough for him. Li Haichao took that as childish talk and told him not to overthink it—he truly wanted He Ziqiu to have a better future. He reminded He Ziqiu to come back right after graduation.
Realizing that Li Haichao didn’t blame him at all, He Ziqiu couldn’t help crying from the sadness in his heart. The next morning, Li Haichao went to wake Li Jianjian for breakfast but found she wasn’t in her room. A phone call revealed that she had gone to her grandmother’s house. Ling Heping came home for breakfast and saw the injuries on Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu’s faces.
After asking, he learned that Ling Xiao’s uncle wanted him to attend university in Singapore. Furious, Ling Heping called Ling Xiao’s uncle and scolded him for leaving Chen Ting for Ling Xiao to take care of. In a rage, he said he wanted to cut ties with him. After hanging up, he asked Ling Xiao if his university preference could still be changed, but Ling Xiao said he had already been accepted into a medical school in Singapore.
Ling Heping was furious that Ling Xiao hadn’t discussed this with him, but Li Haichao defended Ling Xiao and asked Ling Heping to let it go. Now that both were definitely going abroad to study, they returned to their room to pack and discovered the shoes Li Jianjian had bought for them, which made them feel even more bitter. Ling Xiao met with Qi Mingyue and asked her to take good care of Li Jianjian in the future.
When Qi Mingyue found out they were leaving the country, she burst into tears and was very reluctant to see Ling Xiao go. On the day Ling Xiao left, Li Jianjian hadn’t returned. The night before He Ziqiu’s departure, Li Haichao called Li Jianjian, urging her to come home and see He Ziqiu off. But she stubbornly refused. He Ziqiu could only ask Li Haichao to notify him when she got home.
Li Jianjian spent the entire summer vacation at her grandmother’s house and didn’t return home until the new school term started. In class, Qi Mingyue asked if she had called Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu and tried to get her to understand their difficulties, but Li Jianjian couldn’t bear it and lost her temper at Qi Mingyue for the first time. She ran out of the classroom and didn’t come back for the rest of the lesson.
Qi Mingyue was a bit worried. As Li Jianjian returned home, her neighbor Wang Doudou caught up with her. Wang Doudou also knew that Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu had gone abroad to study and criticized them for being heartless. Upon hearing this, Li Jianjian couldn’t help but defend them, saying that they’d come back after finishing university. When she got home, Li Haichao was on the phone with Ling Xiao. He wanted Li Jianjian to talk to him, but she didn’t want to speak with Ling Xiao.
